Everything that I type, Everything that I do, some gossip site makes it news.
Miley Cyrus • Discussing the nature of her leaving Twitter. It’s an unexpected departure, mainly because she did it so regularly and had so many fans. But an unintended side effect of those tweets was the way that the more direct, honest ones – about her weight, for example – turned into gossip. If some gossip site were talking about our site’s weight all the time, we’d be uncomfortable too. Instead, we have Christwire (hilariously) suggesting that our site’s founder is a criminal. • source
Did this disappoint you, or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You know, this video seemed out of place a few years ago, when it first became popular, when Bank of America was still riding high. Now, with the company still paying back TARP funds, living down its unpopular purchase of Merrill Lynch and famously charging absurd fees, it’s just sick. Ethan Chandler of Bank of America took U2’s message of comradery and twisted it into a message of greed. Way to miss the point.

The FCC’s worried about that thing AT&T mentioned now. A couple weeks ago, we mentioned that it seemed like AT&T’s mentioning of Google Voice’s blocking of rural calls screamed of a lawyer looking very closely for a way to screw over Google. Well, it appears they’ve succeeded. The FCC sent a letter to Google asking why they were blocking those calls. If they decide that Google should be treated like big telecom companies in this regard, it could hurt a budding service. source
